6 cups water
2 cups half-and-half
3 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine water, half-and-half, salt and white pepper and bring to a boil. Slowly pour grits into boiling water while whisking the entire time. (Watch out for splattering; mixture is very hot.) Reduce to low heat and continue to whisk often, until thick and completely smooth, about 10 minutes.
Add cheese and stir gently until cheese melts. Whisk again to combine. Turn heat off and allow grits to rest 5 minutes. Add butter and stir until completely smooth, silky and shiny.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups all-purpose flour (they use White Lilly)
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top, if desired)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups half-and-half (plus extra for brushing on biscuits, if desired)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not required, but makes clean-up easier.
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Cut in the softened butter until the butter is the size of small peas.
Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the cream.
Mix until the dough comes together in a sticky ball.
Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead three times only.
Roll out to 1" thickness (no thinner!) and cut out biscuits with a small can or biscuit cutter with a diameter of 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Cut the biscuits very close to each other, and re-roll the scraps only once.
Place biscuits on the basking sheet. For a richer, sweeter biscuit, brush the biscuits with cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake for 20-23 minutes until biscuits are golden brown on top.
